The most important part of a camera is the lens and for closeup work the Macro lens is indispensable.

Years ago I used an old Pentax Optio S40 to take some macro pics of various bugs I found around the house/yard. It's a good camera, but not top-of-the-line and not made for these kinds of shots. But I found that, with the right settings, it worked really well. Granted, I was able to get really close to my subjects (most of the time I trapped them under a glass). But I think any good digital camera that allows enough manual control over the settings should be able to take great macro shots.
Unfortunately, I didn't get any shots of moths/butterflies, so these will have to do as examples. Sorry.

What country do you live in? Looks like you live in Australia, mate.

Haha! These were all taken in Virginia. The pictures make them look much bigger than they are.

We don't have those in the UK (or anywhere in Europe, from what I can see)... looks like a member of the hawk moth family

This is a Brimstone butterfly which I caught and pinned many years ago when I used to be a collector. When arranging a collection it was always important to attach a label to the pin noting the date and place of capture, otherwise the specimen is of little scientific value The Brimstone is perhaps the greatest and best known signifier of Spring in Britain (it hibernates in the ivy to emerge on the first warm days) and is almost impossible to approach, let alone catch or photograph This is a female, the male being an even richer and darker yellow colour

Was not able to identify this one. Around 10 cm/4 inches long, no joke. Thought of an "Eichenspinner" (="oak egger" in english?) but really not sure - other thoughts?
